Seafood, Seafood, And More Seafood! Overloading Kaisen Don in Japan

Kaisen don (sashimi rice bowl) is a famous Japanese dish that you have to try when visiting Japan! But, the kaisen don I will introduce today is even more special! Kind Japanese chefs just keep adding more and more seafood toppings onto the bowl that it's about to overload!

Hachikyo (Hokkaido)

This bowl is called "Tsuko Meshi" at the store, but it is basically a bowl full of salmon roe. The waiter will first bring you a bowl of rice, then will add more and more salmon roe along with their chants. You can eat a great amount of high quality Hokkaido salmon roe!

Kashigashira (Tokyo)

This dish is definitely impactful with two bowls stacked on top of each other. But it's not just the looks that's good. This "Tsukiji Jyogai Don" uses 30 different selected fresh seafood. The chef selects fresh, seasonal fish from the Tsukiji market to make this bowl.

This bowl has been on magazines and TV and is a very popular dish! It is only offered during lunch time and the cost is ¥3,000.

3. Sushiguni (Tokyo)

Overloading sea urchin bowl is the most popular dish at Sushiguni. The chef chooses the best sea urchin of the season, and tops sea urchin onto the bowl until it starts falling off! One bowl is ¥3,800 and is recommended if you want to have exclusive, fresh sea urchin!

4. Totoraku (Kyoto)

Dual Color Tuna Bowl is only ¥500 with this great amount of tuna! The chef carefully selects the most fresh tuna to use to make the bowl, so you can enjoy the fresh, rich taste of tuna. The reasonable price and the good portion has attracted many customers to this restaurant!
